Okay then.
First, I dislike Nomura's character designs. It seems to me that he lacks inspiration, and a lot of their faces end up looking similar. I realise though that this isn't too relevant in a Nomura vs Sakaguchi debate, because Sakaguchi doesn't do character designs. Still, it counts as a minus in my overall opinion on Nomura.
The other reason I have might be a bit biased, and could also be because I'm growing older, but I feel that some of the more recent games simply make less of an impact on me, and that correlates with Sakaguchi having a lesser and lesser role.
But the reason for my first post in here is basically that Nomura is just mainly a character designer, and at that, not the best I've seen, while Sakaguchi is the producer of the games that I regard as the best ones. That's why I don't think they're even in the same league.
